    Very well made tutorials. You not only explain WHAT you are doing, you explain and demonstrate WHY. Very clear and concise.
    Thank you.

    Ive been fascinated by leatherwork since I was a kid. This is the very first video I ever saw about how to actually make something from leather. That was maybe 4 years ago (or more.) And it has triggered an obsession in me. I always reference this video, and come back to it whenever Im starting a new project. All of your videos have been extremely helpful to me. And for that I owe you a great deal of gratitude. So for that, I just want to thank you for taking your time to share your experience and knowledge with us.

    Hello Ian! I stumbled by chance on one of your videos and was so impressed with your skills and the way you shared your knowledge that I kept watching more... In a couple of weeks, you inspired me! After purchasing the main tools you recommended, I managed to get going and I’ve just completed a little friction sheath for my favourite pocket knife. It’s certainly not in the same league as yours, but it’s decent enough and I’m delighted with it! Just wanted to say that I’m extremely grateful for all the time and efforts you put into your videos. A truly heart-felt “Thank you”!

  • @beeseebee_
    @beeseebee_ 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You are 100% right as to why people skip to the end. They want to see the final piece. Good intuition.

  • @sergeantwingfield3557
    @sergeantwingfield3557 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gorgeous work and excellent instruction. Thank you for doing this. I particularly like that you talk about the thickness of the leather you are using. Great Job!

  • @caperica
    @caperica 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Ian, I don’t know why people are skipping, I want to see every bit of what your doing. I learn so much every time. Thank you for making these videos. My own leatherwork has improved by watching your skilled handiwork and the reasons why you should or shouldn’t do certain things. I make my own patterns, but have purchased some of yours as well, as they are so done.

  • @Bluearc101
    @Bluearc101 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    As Ian suggested, I have used this technique for making several types of sheaths. One in particular was for a Gerber multi-tool that I use everyday. I have been using it on the job (welding) and it works beautifully. Holds the tool with out falling out and is an easy grab when I need it, and then slips right back in. Ian makes his instruction videos with the same care that he makes his leatherwork.

  • @samwilson5932
    @samwilson5932 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Watched your video and followed your steps and suggestions. At one point you mentioned that it wouldn't look right until near the end and you were right. My first attempt and I am happy with the way it turned out. I need at lot more practice, but your videos are great help. Thanks

  • @andreamccartney7185
    @andreamccartney7185 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are very very good with explanations and videos... And YOU ARE RIGHT... it happens so often that you want a really good look at what is made first especially if you are looking for ideas to try to make something... Other times when decide will go back to it later... Sometimes just need to see how a certain part is done.. You are the best and your work is beautiful.... Sometimes I just like to see for 'later' and other times watch it through.. Thank you for your work

  • @noobicore6859
    @noobicore6859 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some of us serious knife collectors are behind you all the way. I hate clips on fine (or any) knives. They're impractical and you have to adjust them, and sometimes lose them cause they tangle with so many things. I'm an avid supporter of pouches. They're more reliable and they protect the knife. Great vid.
